KnitSilk Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn – Plum | Super Bulky | 50g | 25+ Yards | Eco-Friendly Fiber Art
🧵 Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn — Plum, Deep & Luxuriously Upcycled
Plum is the colour of dusk over a silk market — deep, warm, and impossibly rich. Our Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn in Plum carries that same depth: a luscious dark purple-red that shifts between wine and violet depending on the light, handcrafted from 100% recycled vintage Indian saris. Each 25+ yard skein is super bulky, textured, and completely one-of-a-kind — the kind of colour that makes a scarf look like a statement and a wall hanging look like art. Available in packs of 1, 2, 3, or 5 skeins for any project scale.

🌿 Sustainability Story
Every skein of KnitSilk Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon Yarn begins as a vintage Indian sari — a garment with its own history, worn and loved before finding new purpose in your hands. By upcycling these beautiful textiles, we reduce waste, support artisan communities in India, and create something genuinely unique. No two skeins are identical, because no two saris ever were.
🔄 How This Yarn Compares
vs. Acrylic Bulky Yarn: Recycled sari silk offers a natural sheen, biodegradability, and a one-of-a-kind texture that no synthetic yarn can replicate.
vs. Wool Super Bulky Yarn: Silk is non-allergenic and temperature-regulating — ideal for those who find wool scratchy or irritating.
vs. Cotton Ribbon Yarn: Sari silk has a richer lustre and more complex tonal variation than cotton, making each finished piece look more artisanal and unique.
vs. New Silk Yarn: Recycled sari silk carries the character of its previous life — subtle tonal shifts and texture variations that new silk simply doesn’t have.
